hind the 'resident's car. and when he
reached within a few feet of it. delib

before it struck the car. hut It landed

flag, enclosed In a paper bag. the gift
of an admirer.

enter the governing class, as it consisted
mostly of an undesirable tvpe of persons
but he had told them that he had made
up his mind to take part in the work of
government. He resolved also, he said,
to enter the cavalry service, so that in
case of trouble he could do his own
fiKhtlng and not depend on others to do
that for him.
The President talked a little on the sub
Jet of football, and told the bovs ' to
take advantage of their education right
ly and always play the game of football

MORPHINE HA3IT GROWING
Danger to European Civilization
Even Bismarck a "Fiend."
PARIS. Feb. 24. (Special.) The increasa
of the morphia habit is the greatest dan
ger which threatens European civiliza
tion, says the well-known writer, Laurent
Tailhade, in a recent article which has
created a great stir here. He declares
that the hab't has Increased to an enorm
ous extent in France and other European
countries, and that extraordinary orgies
as a result of its Indulgence are taking
place In every city of any size, and that
the pernicious habit has completely de
moralized the British and French navies,
where most of the; officers and many of
the rank and file could not exist without
the drug.
Among the many prominent men who
were morphinists he names General Bou
langer. Guy de Maupassant and Alphdnse
Daudet, and, most surprising of all. Prince
Bismarck, who he says could never make
a speech In the Reichstag unless he had
first taken an injection.
TWO-CEXT FA&E FOR L,OXTOX.
John Burns Predicts It Under Mu
, nlcipal Ownership.
LONDON, Feb. 24.-(Special.)-The value
of municipal ownership of London's
street railways Is shown by the prophecy
of John Burns, minister of local govern
ment, that a universal fare on a 1-penny
basis may be established within five years.
This reform, following 'New York's ex
ample, but Riving a much cheaper serv
ice. Is believed to be quite feasible, as it
has been shown that the vast majority of
streetcar passengers only pay penny fares,
and yet the service yields a handsome
profit.
The present system of fares is charging
the passenger according to distance, up to
8 or 10 cents for the whole journey, but
It is thought that a maximum penny fare
with half-penny stages would be as profit
able as the inland penny postage.
Two hundred million passengers were
carried by London's municipal streetcars
last year, and the average fare paid was
a fraction under a penny.
DIGEST OF PROVISIONS OF THE
NEW RAILROAD COMMISSION ACT
Brief Summary of the Powers Vested in the Three Men "Who Are to

is Questioned.
BILL MAY HAVE FAILED
Vote of King, Changed on the
Following Day, Secured Passage.
Question Is, Was Not Formal
Reconsideration Necessary?
SALEM. Or.. Feb. 24. (Special.) There
is much doubt expressed here as to the
passage of the Laughary bill carrying
appropriations for Monmouth and Drain
normals. The ballot on the bill was taken
Friday evening and there were but 30
affirmative votes. The Speaker, being un
der the impression that there were 31,
declared the bill passed. After adjourn
ment it was discovered that the bill had
not passed.
Saturday morning Speaker Davey called
the matter to the attention of the House
and said that he had made an error in
announcing the result and would an
nounce It again. Before he did so King
of Malheur change his vote to aye and
the bill was declared passed.
The Journal of the House -will show
this procedure. The question now Is
whether a vote can be changed the next
day without a reconsideration.

francs some 18 months ago with the agent
of the Pasha, and as pledge gave a
valuable pearl necklace and two dia
mond rings. A month later she-repaid
the money and got back the necklace, but
not the rings, and these she has never
been able to recover. Mile. Carlier and
the Pasha were confronted by the Magis
trate, and. as the Turk was unable to
give a satisfactory account of the affair,
h has been sent to prison until the legal
authorities have thoroughly sifted the
matter. Moutran Pasha is a Turkish
secret service agent.
RUSSIAN SUDDENLY REMOVED.
Either Czar's Government or Terror
ists Poisoned Him.
PARIS, Feb. 24. (Special.) A great sen
sation has been caused heVe by the death
of a Russian gentleman, M. Jean Vil
boucheyitch, who was a savant and a rev
olutionist. He was found dead a few
days ago, poisoned by cyanide of potas
sium; and it was at first thought that he
had committed suicide".
Now the theory is advanced that M.
Vilbouchevitch was removed by the secret
agents of the Terrorist organization,
while others maintain that he made him
self so objectionable" to the Russian gov
ernment that he had to pay the forfeit
with his life.
He had recently started a newspaper
campaign against any further Russian
loans In France. He was also the editor
of an agricultural paper.

Merit in Consular Service.
John B. Osborne in Atlantic Monthly.
There has been established in the State
Department an efficiency record of all
consular officers, which is made up from
all sources of information available to
the department. In the determination of
the relative efficiency of each officer, the
ability, promptness and willingness dis
played by him in the performance of all
his official duties, his personal conduct
while in office and the character of his
trade reports are all made a matter of
permanent record. This new efficiency
record is consulted by the Secretary of
State and brought to the attention of the
President In determining questions of pro
motion, transfer and retention in office;
and thus, with simple machinery, the Sec
retary has vitalized the new legislation
with the spirit of the merit features
which were dropped in the course of en
actment. This new policy has been fur

Women Avoid
Operations
H When a woman suffering from
g female trouble is told that an oper
g ation is necessary, it, of course,
g frightens her.
a The very thought ol the hospital,
H the operating table and the knife
s strikes terror to her heart.
H It is quite true that these troub
S les may reach a stage where an o pe
ll ration is the only resource, but a
S great many women have been cured
g by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
H Compound after an operation has,
H been decided upon as the only cure.
g The strongest and most grateful j
statements possible to make come from women who by taking jj
I Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound 1
g made from native roots and herbs, have escaped serious operations, as H
H evidenced bv Miss Rose Moore's case, of 307 W. 2Gth frit.. N.Y. She writes; s
g Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-"Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
j cured me of the very worst form of female trouble and I wish to express 1
1 to you my deepest gratitude. I suffered intensely for two years so that 1
I was unable to attend to my duties and was a burden to my f amilv. I
fj doctored and doctored with only temporary relief and constantly objecting
g to an operation which I was advised to undergo. I decided to try Lydia 5
b E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; it cured me of the terrible trouble 1
g and I am now in better health than I have been for many years." s
This and other such cases should encourage every woman to try Ly- H
3 diaE. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before she submits to an operat ion. 9

Cigar 5 Cents
is the one cigar you can be sure is genuine
Porto Rican in name and quality.
El Toro represents the best 5-cent cigar
that Porto Rico can produce. Smokers
of El Toro cigars know how far superior
this brand has always been to any cigar
sold for 5 cents.
This year's Porto Rican tobacco crop is
better than ever before and only the
choicest selections are used in the El Toro.
For this reason the El Toros now on the
market are particularly recommended to
smokers.
Every El Toro is now banded. This is
the cigar that has done so much to
popularize Porto Rican cigars among dis
criminating smokers.
